One of my auctions keeps getting retrured saying
"Error 240: The item cannot be listed or modified.
The item cannot be listed or modified. The title and/or description may contain improper words, or the listing or seller may be in violation of eBay policy."
I don't have any idea what couldn't be in compliance. It was on an automatic re-list and had already run then I got this. Any ideas?
The specific error message that eBay is returning (viewable when doing an eBay preview in Vendio) is:
"Thank you for choosing eBay.

It seems that since you have the word "coach" in the listing title, eBay is assuming that you are trying to list an item with the brand "coach" (even though you are referring to a sports coach). If you remove this word from the listing title, then it should launch without error.

Thanks. You would think Ebay would be able to figure that out considering the catagory and other keywords. Wow.
